Re: RE: FLASH: What is the big difference between Director andFlash

[Grimmwerks]

Well, there's a whole programming language, but the strength of it is 

that you can TOTALLY create your own handlers...and it's a pure object 

oriented code, meaning that each object you create can have properties up 

the whoohaa......properties built into lingo (ie locV, locH, rect, 

mouseLoc) or you can create your own properties (speed, face, smell, 

...whatever) that can be set....


it is TRULY an object oriented program that can be stretched to creating 

apps like Photoshop, etc.


But to answer your question, you can send messages to javascript and 

receive messages back...in fact something I want to try is not having 

flash imported within Director, but embeded in the same page and having 

flash and director communicate via javascript thread.
